Mrs. Green Gear and I spoil our dogs.  General Sherman and General Patton get something new everytime we come within a stones throw of a pet store.  It’s a sickness, I admit, but It’s always a pleasure to see them freak out over a new toy.

The toys are divided with each dog getting his own, and when you look at them you get a sense of their personalities.  Sherman, has fewer toys, and they are of the rubber / tough variety.  He’s a chewer.  Pattons toys are decidedly more aristocratic.  He has all the nice AKC plush toys that look like wild game.  He has a pheasant, squirrel, rabbit, and now a nice whitetail doe.

And that’s what we’re reviewing today.  This puppy caught my eye at the store and i figured i would give it a go on Green Gear since its stuffing is made from recycled polyester.  That’s good news, right?  I mean, I wish they would have recycled the whole thing… touting the toy as “green” because the stuffing and packaging are recycled borders on greenwashing.  But, I shouldn’t call them out too much because they are using less and that is admirable.

So far, Patton likes it.  So i’m willing to give it the thumbs up.  Here is the video review.
